Context of John 20:9

7and the face cloth that had been on His head. It was not lying with the linen strips, but was rolled up in a place by itself. 8So then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also entered. He saw and believed. For they did not yet understand from Scripture that Yeshua must rise from the dead. 10So the disciples went back to their own homes. 11But Miriam stood outside the tomb weeping. As she was weeping, she bent down to look into the tomb.
